I’m back from my vacation, so welcome back to another episode of But What Does It Mean? Ever wonder: what the heck does that name mean? Well, you’re in the right place! Here, we look at the IGNs of the amazing members of the MunchyMC Community!
Introduction
Idk who he’s talking about, but today we’ll be looking at the IGN of the real @Bearaddo!
Dissection
Bearaddo, and the name is divided.
First part: Bear (also stylized bear). Well, a bear is a large heavy mammal that feeds on fruit, plants, insects and sometimes flesh. And this is exactly what Jordan wants you to think. He wants you to think that when he says “bear”, he means the animal. But what he really means is the verb. He’s talking about to “accept or allow oneself to be subjected to something”. You know, bearing the pain. Etcetera.
Second part: add. Well, this one is pretty simple. To add is to “join or unite”. To put two things together. The opposite of subtract. You get the idea.
Third part: o (also stylized 0). You know how some people will use 0s instead of o’s in their IGNs? Same thing here, except in reverse. He’s using the letter o to indicate the number 0. You know, nothing. The void. The absence of everything.
Analysis
If we put it together, we get bearadd0. This seems a little confusing, I’ll admit. First of all, if bear is a verb, then what is the subject? Well, we can only assume that the subject is the person with the name: that is, Jordan. The problem is that “Jordan bear” is not proper English. We need to add in another verb to make it make sense. So, we add in “can” for it to make sense. Now, we have Jordan can bear add 0.
But the problem with this is that it still doesn’t make sense. So, let’s add in a particle to make it make even more sense. With that in mind, we can get Jordan can bear to add 0. Now we’re starting to make sense.
Let’s see. So now we understand everything except for that last little part: 0. Obviously the 0 means something related to Bear, but what does it mean? Well, when we think of people and numbers, I’m sure that the most logical association that we make is population. So, now we know that the 0 means zero population. When we put it all together, then we get the true meaning of the name. Jordan can bear to add 0 population. I know, I know, it’s a stretch. But everything here is a stretch.
Ok. So, if he can bear to add zero population, than can he bear to add more? The answer is obviously no. Jordan can’t bear to add anything more than 0 to the population of the Earth. And you know what type of people don’t want to add to the Earth’s population? Climate activists.
In short, Jordan is a climate activist. That’s why he plays survival, because nature and stuff.
Episode 18 is done. Finally. If you happen to be the guest star, please comment below with the inspiration for your name. Also, message me (on Discord or on the forums) with your suggestions of IGNs for me to examine. Until then, this is your host, Spectro, signing off. Goodnight!
